Question

After allowing a discount of 25% on the market price of an

article, there is a gain of 20%. What is the profit % if the article is sold

at market price i.e. allowing no discount?​

Answer 1

answer

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be x and the cost price by y

According to the question

selling price is 20% over y(=y+20% of y) and 25% lower than x(=x-25% of x)

So, SP = 1.2x=0.75

=>y=1.2x/0.75

=>y=1.6x

So the marked price is 60% over the cost price

So if no discount is allowed, the profit 60%

Answer 2

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Let Market price be 100

After giving 25percent discount , selling price = 100-25*100/100 = 75

By selling the article at Rs 75, there is a gain of 20%.

This gain of 20% is on the cost price of article

Let cost price be Rs x

So, x+( 20/100) *x = 75

6x/5 = 75

x = Rs 62.5

So, if the article is sold at market price , profit = 100-62.5 = 37.5

Profit percent = 37.5/62.5 *100 = 60%
